Klock Werks® Saddlebag Hinge Inserts replace the factory reflectors on your Harley saddlebag hinge with machined billet aluminum. They originally fit 2014 and newer Touring models. Now, with the fitment expansion officially available, the same clean upgrade fits every generation of hard bag bagger from 1996 to 2026 H-D® Touring, in chrome or gloss black.
Why the Harley Saddlebag Hinge Matters
Stand beside any Street Glide®, Road Glide®, or Road King® and look at the saddlebag lid. The hinge sits at eye level for anyone walking past, and from the factory it carries a molded plastic reflector stuck on with adhesive. It does its job, but it's the one piece on the side of the bike that looks like it came off a parts shelf.
On a stock bike, nobody notices. On a bike with a custom paint job, a Flare® windshield, and upgraded wheels, that reflector stands out for the wrong reasons. Swapping it for a billet insert is a five minute change that makes the bags look intentional, and it carries the same level of finish from the fairing all the way back to the fender.
Saddlebag Hinge Inserts, Built by Klock Werks
Our Saddlebag Hinge Inserts are designed specifically for factory Harley-Davidson® hard saddlebags. Each pair is machined from solid billet aluminum and finished in either show quality chrome or a durable poly coated gloss black, so you can match a bright build or a blacked out one.
Pick the style that fits your bike:
- Chrome Smooth for 1996 to 2013 and 2014 to 2026 Touring models
- Black Smooth for 1996 to 2013 and 2014 to 2026 Touring models
- Chrome Special for 2014 to 2026 Touring models, with added detail machined into the face
Every set ships as a pair with installation instructions and sells for $129.95.
Fitment: 1996 to 2026 H-D® Touring Models
The fitment expansion brings earlier Touring bikes into the lineup, so owners of classic and late model baggers can finish their bags the same way.
1996 to 2013 Touring models include the Electra Glide® Classic, Standard, Ultra Classic and Police; Street Glide® and CVO™ Street Glide®; Road King®, Road King® Police and CVO™ Road King®; Road Glide®, Road Glide® Custom, Road Glide® Ultra and CVO™ Road Glide®; and the 1996 Tour Glide™ Ultra Classic.
2014 to 2026 Touring models include the Street Glide® and Street Glide® Special, Road Glide® and Road Glide® Special, Limited, Ultra and ST variants, Road King® and Road King® Special, Ultra Classic®, Ultra Limited, Electra Glide® Standard and Revival, and applicable CVO™ models.
The inserts are made for factory hard saddlebags. They do not fit 2014 to 2019 Road King® Classic models with leather bags. Check the full fitment chart on the product page or use Shop Your Ride to confirm your exact year and model.
Made in USA Motorcycle Parts from Mitchell, South Dakota
Klock Werks has been building custom motorcycles and parts in Mitchell, South Dakota since 1997. Our Saddlebag Hinge Inserts are made in the USA, like the rest of the parts we design for riders who care about how their bike is put together.
Choosing made in USA motorcycle parts means tighter tolerances, consistent finish quality, and a part built by a team that rides the same roads you do. When a piece sits at eye level on your bike, that consistency matters. Learn more about who we are.
How to Install Saddlebag Hinge Inserts
Installation takes a few minutes per side, and you don't need to remove the saddlebag lid.
- Carefully release the adhesive bond on the stock reflector. A little heat from a heat gun or hair dryer helps soften it.
- Gently lift the reflector off the hinge once the bond lets go.
- Clean off all remaining adhesive so the surface is smooth and dry.
- Peel the backing from the 3M adhesive on the insert.
- Position the insert on the hinge and press firmly to set it.
Work carefully around painted surfaces when removing the stock reflector. Full instructions are included with every pair and available as a PDF download.
Finish the Build with More Harley Touring Accessories
Hinge inserts are a natural place to start, but they're rarely where a build stops. If you're working through the details on your bagger, these Harley touring accessories and Harley small parts carry the same finish across the rest of the bike:
-
Upper Fillers and Lower Fillers for 1995 to 2008 Touring models close the gaps between your bags and fender for a smoother profile.
-
Dynamat® Saddlebag Kits cut road noise and vibration inside the bags, especially behind an audio upgrade.
-
Flare® Windshields redirect air around you for a quieter, more stable ride at highway speed.
-
Oil cooler guards, fork leg caps, flush mount axles, and vent screens round out the details in our Harley small parts and accessories collection.
Browse everything by model in our Road Glide®, Street Glide®, Road King®, and Ultra® and Electra Glide® collections, or see how it all comes together in our Build Breakdowns.

It's in the Details
The best builds aren't defined by one big part. They're defined by a hundred small decisions made right. Saddlebag Hinge Inserts are one of the simplest ways to make that statement on any 1996 to 2026 H-D® Touring bike.
It's your ride. You decide.
